What is Saral TDS?
Saral TDS is a Windows desktop program from Relyon Softech Ltd, a Bengaluru company that also sells Saral payroll, GST and income tax products. It prepares quarterly TDS and TCS statements (24Q, 26Q, 27Q and 27EQ), files correction returns from the TRACES Conso file and issues Form 16, 16A and 27D certificates. Relyon says the software has processed more than 1.3 lakh TANs and 14 lakh returns, and is used across 42,800+ bank branches, so it is well known among banks and tax practitioners.
The software suits CA firms, tax consultants and in-house finance teams who file TDS for many deductors and want to keep the data on their own machine. Its strengths are the TRACES tooling: bulk PAN and challan verification, Conso and Justification Report downloads, default summaries and online correction requests. Excel import for deductions, challans and salary data cuts typing for anyone moving from spreadsheets, and the bundled JRE means FVU validation runs without a separate Java install.
The trade-offs come from the desktop model. Nothing is accessible from a browser or phone, data sits in local or network-shared folders, and the FAQ points users to fixes like clearing the Windows Temp folder. Salary tax computation and consolidated Form 16 only start at the Corporate edition, and that edition caps employees at 100, so a mid-size employer usually ends up on Institutional.
Pricing is published. Professional costs Rs 6,270 for a single user and Corporate Rs 10,770, with Institutional at Rs 19,500; multi-user licences cost roughly 1.7 to 1.8 times more, and 18% GST is added on top. TDS Plus, aimed at very large record volumes, is quoted on request. If you only file non-salary returns for clients, Professional covers it; buy Corporate or higher only if you run employee salary TDS through the software.

Saral TDS — frequently asked questions
How much does Saral TDS cost in India?+
Saral TDS Professional costs Rs 6,270 for a single user and Rs 10,770 for multi-user. Corporate is Rs 10,770 or Rs 19,500, and Institutional is Rs 19,500 or Rs 34,800. TDS Plus for very large volumes is quoted on request. All listed prices are before 18% GST, so Professional single user works out to about Rs 7,399 with tax.
Is GST included in the Saral TDS price?+
No. Relyon's Saral TDS pricing page states that 18% GST is charged on top of every listed price. For example, the Institutional single-user edition at Rs 19,500 becomes about Rs 23,010 after GST. Businesses registered under GST can normally claim this input tax credit if the invoice carries their GSTIN.
Does Saral TDS have a free trial?+
Yes. The Saral TDS website has a free trial page with a software download, and you can also request a demo from Relyon's team. The site does not state how long the trial lasts or what limits apply, so confirm the terms with Relyon support before you begin entering live client data into the trial copy.
Is Saral TDS cloud software or desktop software?+
Saral TDS is installed desktop software for Windows. Relyon's FAQ mentions installation needing around 300 MB of free disk space and a bundled Java runtime for validation. Data can be kept on a shared network folder for teams, but there is no browser version, so you cannot open it from a phone or home laptop without remote access.
Which Saral TDS edition should a CA firm buy?+
If a CA firm mainly files non-salary TDS returns (26Q, 27Q, 27EQ) for clients, Saral TDS Professional is enough because it allows unlimited companies and deductees. Choose Corporate or Institutional only when you need automatic salary tax computation, consolidated Form 16, bulk challan verification or Form 24G filing for government deductors.
Saral TDS vs KDK Spectrum Cloud: which is better?+
Saral TDS is a desktop program with deep TRACES tools and published per-edition prices starting at Rs 6,270 plus GST. KDK Spectrum Cloud is browser-based, bundles GST and ITR filing with TDS and needs no Java install. Firms wanting offline control of data may prefer Saral; firms wanting remote team access usually prefer a cloud tool.
Can Saral TDS file correction returns?+
Yes. Saral TDS files correction returns using data from the TRACES Conso file, and it can download Justification Reports and the defaults summary to show what needs fixing. It also supports online correction requests on TRACES, which helps clear short-deduction and challan mismatch defaults that the Income Tax Department raises after quarterly filing.
Does Saral TDS generate Form 16 and Form 16A?+
Yes. Saral TDS generates Form 16 with Part A and Part B merged, quarterly Form 16A and Form 27D for TCS. Certificates can be digitally signed and emailed to employees or deductees directly from the software. Consolidated Form 16 (Part A + B) is listed from the Corporate edition upward on Relyon's pricing page.
Does Saral TDS have a mobile app?+
No mobile app for Saral TDS is mentioned on Relyon's website. The product runs as Windows desktop software, so return preparation, validation and certificate generation all happen on a PC. Teams that need status updates on the move would have to rely on remote desktop access or pick a cloud TDS product instead.
